Holiday light install & takedown (a few intense weeks)
A six-week season, on a ladder, in December. Install in November, take down in January, store for next year — high per-job value packed into a few weeks, and the same houses tend to book again the following year.
$500-3,000
$3,000-10,000/mo seasonal
Top of range — not a guarantee
Where this signal comes from
Nationally there are 138,018 building-exterior services (pressure washing, gutters, pools) — 4.1 per 10,000 residents, counting both those with employees and those without (US Census, County Business Patterns + Nonemployer Statistics 2023). Scoutway compares your own county against that rate.
Some counties have a fraction of that rate; some have several times more. Join the waitlist to see where your own county lands.
Sources: US Census County Business Patterns ↗ (businesses with employees) and Nonemployer Statistics ↗ (sole proprietors). Every figure here is the two added together.
A few intense weeks, priced on the ladder nobody wants to climb.
The year's revenue arrives in about six weeks, which is both the constraint and the appeal: it stacks onto another service without competing for its season. The same houses come back annually, and the install is priced against nobody wanting to be on a ladder in December.
